Pieces
I'm incomplete and, kind of weird too,
I'm just sittin in here... so are you,
Right up there... and, over here...
I'm also downstairs... somewhere...
There's a little bit to conversation,
A part of me that seems to blend in,
So, I'm all over the place, my friend,
I'm in pieces like I've always been,
And, I ain't so much for the cleanin,
So, many pieces of me, you see them?
So many pieces of me, again & again,
They fall wherever it is they are fallin,
And, that's how I intend to leave'em.
No sense in tryin' to hidin'em,
I know that you can see'em.
All of that day's pay, per diem,
I've no other place to keep'em,
Sorry for the mess, ahem...
.. I'm still tryin to teach'em,
Once upon a time, way back when,
I tried to put them all together again,
But, I couldn't even reach them.
Guess they take after me then,
They are just a bunch of heathens.
So please, do not even tease'em,
The last thing they'll be needin,
Is to have yet another reason.
Sometimes, I wonder if & when,
My pieces will come in to season.
That's all I have to say... ..the end.
